Trinity

this song has been on my local christian station this past week. i think this pretty much tells us what this song means.

-Trinity.

i found this song and it caught my eye because it has the same name as me and i started listening to it and i thought it was a love song. but thin i really listened to the worlds and realized that he must be talking about the holy Trinity. I took this song to my friend because she knows the bible better than I, and she told me that some of the lyrics are simular to verses in the bible. When he says Thats why im still alive, the reason we are alive is because of the Trinity. i dont think i need to explain the lyrics because nparris88 did a great job explaining it. another reason i think this is a song about the Trinity is because look where the world is going....no a good place so it makes me think he is say Trinity(father,son& the holy spirit) dont say goodbye(dont give up on us) because time after time we will survive(we will get through this), that why im still alive(youve gotten us through everything else)

they did a great job on Word play tho b.c. you can take this in as a love song(like i did before) or you can take this in as a Christian song(like i do now)

i love this song(:

-Trinity.

Luv it! I think it's talking abt the Holy Trinity.. u kno.. Father, Son & Holy Ghost..

Don't ask me where I'm going, Cause I could never prove that But I do have something to say

I am reaching from the Depths of my Soul, Hear me Pleading, I'm a Child im the poor I am Needed to Draw on your virtue Believing....

Trinity, don't say good bye..

They don't want to be given up on.. Bcuz they're trying to change..

This is what i get.. not quite sure if that's right tho..

Okay, since people are asking... this is my two cents. I was going to go through and fix the punctuation and stuff... but I'm lazy and I didn't... so here it is:

You got a way of living, Your way's "Hey I Want That", I try to live my life for the people who need a Come Back! There's too many problems to think that you could fix me, My name is called The World & I'm dying of unbelief see

---This verse to me, is basically the point of the song. People are greedy and selfish and there's a LOT wrong with the world that will probably never be fixed, but there are some people out there who are trying their best.

I'm the Kind of person who's strong & wants to react... So feel me when I fight for the cause of bringing Hope Back Don't ask me where I'm going, Cause I could never prove that But I do have something to say

---He still wants to try and make things better. My favorite line of the song is that third one... he can't give people the PROOF they so often demand that he's going to heaven (or that there is some higher power), but he still wants to help people find hope.

I am reaching from the Depths of my Soul, Hear me Pleading, I'm a Child im the poor I am Needed to Draw on your virtue Believing....

---I think this is basically a plea on behalf of the downtrodden, asking you to be a good person, believe in your own goodness. I hear "Believe it" when I listen, which fits.

Trinity, don't say good bye, hey you know that Time After, Time after we will surive, that's Why I'm Still Alive

---I do think this is a religious song, and this is simply saying that despite all the opposition in the past, true believers continue to hold on to their faith, and asking God not to give up on them.

Love & Action takes the Widow with her Loss, and True Commitment take the Orphans Paying their Cost, We're just broken vessels pouring out our wine, Our days are numbered, but yet still we walk this line.

---I actually hear "damn the cost" here after the orphans bit, but I could be wrong. I'm unsure on the first two lines? A reference to the costs to war and hatred, perhaps. I think the next two lines refer to our being flawed, mortal creatures, but we still have faith.

The Words Can't Break your Bones, so I release them in a Song,

---I think this is saying, people don't listen to religious preaching really (and with all the narrow minded bigots in the media today, who can blame anyone... I certainly don't appreciate these people twisting my religion to their own prejudice), nor the Words of the Bible, they're not hard hitting any more. People listen to songs, and take their meanings to heart (I mean, what site are you on right now?)

Unbelief get out my Head, You can't win cause I'm not Dead.

---This admits that everyone has doubts, moments or even years of unbelief, but holding onto faith is important. That negativity shouldn't "win".

Prison step aside, cause It's time for us to Rise All my people Under Fire, You can Bet this time that I will Survive.

---I think this is basically a call to action. Religious people of all faiths are under fire right now from each other, non believers, everything. A lot of it was brought on by themselves and I'm in no way saying that people aren't entitled to their own opinion, but still. I think it's less the particular FAITH, and more the GOODNESS and VIRTUE that faith is supposed to inspire that he's talking about. And again, there's good in the world yet, reason to believe despite all the crap going on.

My favorite lyrics usually have a bit of mystery to them leaving almost an open response. This song fits that type of writing.

To me this song is expressing a few points. First of all, Salvation, who is life, and whom the Son's and daughter's live in this life, and what they feel as their in a world under fire (coming judgments). I believe the song is like a dialogue between four different voices; The tension between the Father and the world, and between the world and the Father. It's as though the holy spirit is conveying the Father's grief through the worlds perspective, with the world saying "trinity don't say goodbye" highlighting this tone and conveying the Fathers heart. The writer is saying that the World and the Father and his love where never meant to be separated even though the world is going to face judgment. It carries an apologetic apocalyptic message to the world, the Father saying to the world, "I have not forsaken, I have not rejected you my children" even though your dying with the world. "You know that time after time we will survive" speaking of hope in confrontation with coming fire(trial, judgments).

Feel free to comment, this is my personal interpretation.

Here is from a article:

What's up with "Trinity?"

It's definitely a different flavor from "Ride to California." I remember being in the studio in LA when that song evolved. It actually came out of this love song that Aswan had written, probably five years ago. He wrote it on an acoustic guitar. We were sitting around listening to him play. We heard the hooks in it and melodies. We just started to piece it together, and it turned into this really catchy song that tells a bunch of different stories. We've heard so many different interpretations of what it might mean when people call in. That's the beauty of it. People can hear it and associate it with whatever they're going through, whether it's a relationship, life or tough times. I think it's cool when you have a song that's relatable to so many different situations and people.
